VOLUME 3: San Joaquin Route

Freight and passenger trains from the Bay Area via the Tehachapi Loop to Los Angeles, c.1950.  16mm color films form the backbone of this incredible show of train after train fast running down the valley where they took on helpers for the grueling climb over the mountains.

VOLUME. 4: Coast Daylight Route

“The Most Beautiful Train in the World”.  The luxurious, strikingly-painted streamliner was conceived in the depths of the depression and revolutionized rail coach travel, along the scenic route from Los Angeles to San Francisco.  Includes mail trains, freights and local switching.           

54 min. • DVD • Mostly Color with Narration and Sound effects.

VOLUME 5: San Francisco Peninsula Route - 1954

As steam locomotives were replaced by diesels, they were shunted to the Peninsula to work out their last days in commute service. A segment of this program documents a typical afternoon rush hour as everything from 2400-class Pacifics to 4400-class mountain types thunder out of San Francisco at three-minute intervals. The finale of the halcyon days of one hundred years of steam are being played out in front of our eyes, as though there is no end in sight. Yet within two years steam will be dead for all time on the SP.
